# File Manager vs 暗礁助手

The clearest difference is review sentiment: File Manager at 84% against 暗礁助手's 43%. File Manager also leads on ratings volume (98 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). 暗礁助手's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. File Manager sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and 暗礁助手 sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

暗礁助手 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: File Manager has 98 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of File Manager's written reviews are positive against 43% of 暗礁助手's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

File Manager ships an update every 4 months, 暗礁助手 monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
